One of the first ships to arrive on the Clyde for Joint Warrior 102 was the Royal Navy's hydrographic survey ship ECHO. Arriving from Cardigan Bay, she had just completed survey work that had included the discovery of a previously uncharted shipwreck. ECHO is one of the RN's most sophisticated ships, and was built by Appledore Shipbuilders in North Devon, being commissioned into the Navy in March 2003. Both ECHO and her sister ENTERPRISE have participated in previous Joint Warrior exercises, often in support of mines countermeasures vessels.
